How to track your travel expenses

Four steps to a clear picture of your holiday spending.

Record a payment

Enter the amount in pounds, pick a category and choose the date. Add a short note if you need one, such as ‘train to Edinburgh’ or ‘two nights at the campsite’.

Keep your list up to date

Add each payment once. You can edit or delete entries later, select several categories together and sort by date or amount.

Check the breakdown

See your total spending, daily average and category breakdown. On your phone, use the Summary tab; on a larger screen, the totals sit beside the form.

What does a holiday really cost?

Flights and accommodation are only part of the picture. Add petrol or EV charging, train tickets, meals, parking, tolls, activities and shopping to see what you actually spent. This travel expense tracker works for a weekend away, a road trip or a longer holiday.

Record a hotel deposit and the remaining balance as separate payments. Avoid adding the full booking price again, or you will count the deposit twice. If you are travelling with others, agree whether the list covers the whole group or just your own spending.

How the totals and daily average work

The trip total is the sum of every entry. For example, £80 for fuel, £180 for accommodation, £90 for food, £20 for parking and £30 for activities add up to £400. These are illustrative figures, not a suggested holiday budget.

The daily average divides the total by the days from the earliest to the latest entry, counting both dates and days with no spending. From 6 to 10 September is five days, so £400 gives £80 a day. An advance booking dated a month before departure will extend this period: it is an entry date range, not a separately entered trip duration.

A category’s share is its total divided by the trip total, multiplied by 100. In the example, accommodation is 45%. Rounded percentages may not add up to exactly 100%. Filtering the list changes its footer total, while the main summary and exports still cover the whole trip.

Spending abroad and keeping your records

This UK version records amounts in GBP. For a payment abroad, use the final sterling amount on your bank statement, including any fees you want to track. There is no automatic exchange-rate conversion. If you only know the foreign-currency price, convert it first using the currency converter below.

Your expense records stay in this browser on this device; the tracker does not send them to a server or sync them automatically. Clearing site data or closing a private browsing session may remove them. Keep a backup for each trip before clearing the list to start another one.

Travel expense tracker: your questions answered

Is this a budget planner or an expense tracker?
It adds up the payments you enter. It is designed to track actual holiday spending, rather than predict prices for a destination. You can enter estimates, but the tool does not distinguish them from actual payments.
What do I need to enter?
An amount in pounds, a category and a date. Notes are optional. Use DD/MM/YYYY or the calendar button. Amounts can use a decimal point or comma, with up to two decimal places and no thousands separators.
How is the daily average calculated?
The total is divided by the inclusive number of days between the earliest and latest expense dates. Days with no entries count too. If all entries have the same date, the period is one day.
Can I view several categories at once?
Yes. Select as many categories as you need, or choose All expenses to reset the filter. On mobile, open the category menu and tick your choices. The bottom row adds up only the entries shown.
Will my expenses still be here next time?
Yes, in the same browser on the same device, as long as its site data has not been cleared. No account is needed. Download a backup regularly, especially before switching devices or clearing browser data.
Can I use another currency or language?
Each language has its own list in this browser, even when the currency is the same. The UK page uses GBP, Polish PLN, Romanian RON and the other versions EUR. Changing language does not convert amounts. New entries and imported expenses must not exceed 100,000 in the page’s currency per entry. Imports in a different currency are rejected.
What is the difference between a backup and a CSV?
A JSON backup can restore the editable list, including IDs and dates. A CSV contains all entries with localised headings and amounts for Excel; it is a report and cannot be imported as a backup. Both exports include every entry, even when a filter is active.
Can I split costs between friends?
There is no settlement or payer tracking. For an equal split, divide the total by the number of people: £360 shared between four is £90 each. This does not work out who owes whom.
How do I start a new trip?
Download a backup of the current trip and give the file a recognisable name. Then delete all expenses and start a new list. To revisit an older trip without merging the two, restore its backup using Replace all existing entries.
